One Lioness Tries to Hunt Elephant

Watch the incredibly rare moment as a lioness, hoping to feed her cubs, single-handedly tries to take down an elephant!
This incredible video was shared with us by 28 year old film maker - Samuel Chevallier who is a part of the African Bush Camps film team called Rewild - www.rewildtv.com/

It was said that this sighting was an intense moment to witness and that capturing this event was a once in a lifetime experience for this guide. We asked Samuel to tell us more about the experience and what led up to this breath-taking moment and in his own words, he told LatestSightings.com his story:

“We had just left the Somalisa camp in Hwange after an early rise and a steaming cup of coffee. To start the day we headed in the direction where we viewed a lion pride the previous evening. The early morning light broke and we were happy to find that they were still resting in the same place. We watched for a while as the cubs were playing with one another and then the mother started getting active as gathered the cubs and walked them through the bush. Slowly we pursued them to see what they were up to and after some time, the mother headed into the thicket. The next thing, all we heard was the screeching sound of an elephant!”
“We headed into the bush to find the lioness on top of a young elephant trying to bring her down. The lioness clawed into the thick skin of the elephant - hanging on while the elephant fought against the strong grip and pull of the lioness. After a few moments of struggling to get the lioness off, the elephant managed to shake loose from the lioness’s grip and exited into the bush behind her. Whilst all of the action was happening, the cubs were laying in the tall grass looking on as their mother attempted to secure a meal, but, after an unsuccessful attack, the mother came to collect the cubs and headed away into the morning - luckily, unscathed from the encounter.”
“It was an intense moment trying to capture the event as the adrenaline was high and we were all so alert with all that was taking place. It’s never easy hearing the sound of a screeching animal fighting to survive. It was a case of mixed emotions and we were slightly relieved to see the young elephant escaping the grips of the lioness, although, witnessing the hunger of the cubs as they waited for their mother to bring home the meal - a contradiction of emotion that I had not quite felt before.”
“For me this experience was extremely rare, never in all my years of guiding have I ever seen such a sighting as elephant and lion have always had an interesting relationship. Often elephants will push a lion away eagerly - especially when they are in big herds. My advice to onlookers in the wild, is to be careful, engage in the moment and note on the behaviour of a lion/lioness before they attack.”

@Trey The elephant won because as far as we all can see as being true, is.. The elephant chased the lion away and it survived, we can also all have assumptions to what happened before after . I believe that lion had cubs and it was out hunting a big prey.. Bcuz thd area didnt have much smaller prey the normally catch.. And that lion was very big and i believe its killed an elephant before.. The lion seemed to be injured as well.. When the elephant smashed it into the ground and probably got him with his tusk..

@Trey they slowed the video down right after and got in close.. The lion yelled out, then the elephant took him to the ground.. looked like he was knock unconscious from that, couldve easily broken a rib or anything..

[@andrewsmith9882]

She didn't even cause any damage. Its because the Elephants hide is too thick. It probably felt like a cat biting a human to the Elephant. The Elephant looked like it just got fed up and flung the Lioness. As you can see when the Lioness ran the Elephant chased after it. Probably wanted to kill the lioness.

Idiot, elephant showed nothing to lioness . Elephant only defend own death and run for his/her life. Bravery is what this alone lioness did, bravery is start a fight with someone who weighted more than 20 times and have far more raw power. Bravery , power , fearlessness is what this alone lioness did to elephant.. Lions are born with A true king quality. They born with a king instinct. Lions are symbol of power, bravery, strength and fearlessness. And after all it doesn't matter who you are, an elephant or a small dog, you are only a prey for the kings. 🦁👑 Bow down to the king..
